Developed as a luxury property that sets the standard for the ultimate in city chic, the Apex Waterloo Place Hotel opened its doors in March 2009. It is situated in the heart of the capital, at the east end of Edinburgh's famous Princes Street. Easily accessible, the hotel is just one minute from Waverley Station and close to the city’s main shopping district. This landmark building combines traditional features with the contemporary style that Apex Hotels have become well known for. ‘Urban glamour meets contemporary comfort’ is very much the philosophy behind Apex Waterloo Place. This luxurious four-star hotel boasts the facilities and attention to detail to rival those of a five-star property. The hotel boasts 187 stylish and spacious bedrooms; a luxurious swimming pool, gym, sauna and steam room; restaurant and lounge bar.

Some years back phenomenally successful comedy writer Ben Elton teamed up with legends of rock, Queen, to make a musical. Screen icon Robert de Niro became so impressed after attending the original workshop that his company came on board as American partner.

The result was a new chapter in theatre history – 'We Will Rock You' -  a rock 'theatrical' which defied all comparisons and has gone on to rock London’s West End and theatres around the world for the past six years to an audience of well beyond six million.

Elton fashioned a hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen's biggest hit songs delivered in a show that boasts the scale and spectacle that marked Queen's live performances. And with Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors and 'a band without parallel in the theatre' behind the cast you'd be right to expect 'We Will Rock You' to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen’s concerts.

"This show is all about legend", says Ben Elton. "We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the mighty corporations who want to suppress their individuality and their love of music. They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we have two – the dreamer Galileo and his sassy sidekick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?"
